carries off the bile by a mild move

THE ALABAMA INDIANS.
Remnants of the Tribe Located in
the State of Texas.
Engaged In Agriculture and Industrious
Workers Some of the Queer
Customs Still In Vogue
Anions Them.
The remnant of the Alabama tribe,
which migrated to the Trinity river re
gion early in the present century, is a
branch of the Creek nation, and is in
termixed with a few Coshattas and
Muscogees. They speak three differ
ent languages, all evidently dialects of
the Creek, and most of them under
stand the Mobile tongue, or servite
Choctaw, which, like the French of Eu
rope, was the universal language
among the tribes and their usual means
of communication with the whites.
The remnant of this race, says the
Chicago Tribune, now numbers about
hundred. , Their crops are principally
cultivated for their own use, rather
than for sale. Indian corn is the
principal, although many of them
plant potatoes, and all of them vege
tables, and they usually nil their
villages with fruit trees. During the
season of cultivation they remain
closely at home, working industrious
ly, and hunting only at such times as
they have leisure from their crops.
"But when everything has been
ifathered and housed, the last crevice
if their granaries is closed to exclude
light and air as a guard against weevil,
hen comes the return to Indian life
rad Indian enjoyment. They break up
nto hunting parties after the Arab
fashion, taking with them their wives
and children, their horses and tents,
and household utensils. They seek the
wild pine forests, awav from the settle
ments, and work their way in the dense
anebrakes along the rivers which
white men rarely if ever penetrate.
They soon fill their camps with game,
vnd alone with themselves and nature,
ever safe from the intrusion of a supe-
ior and conquering race, they enjoy
the realization of Indian life as it was
before the white man discovered their
ountry. When weary of the chase,
or satisfied with its results, they return
to their villages their horses laden with
dried meat, deerskins to be dressed for
the market, and bear's oil in skins for
their own use or for sale. These ex
cursions occupy their time until the
season comes for repairing their fences
and making ready for their crops,
when they all return home cheerful
and contented to begin the! routine for
another year. rat -r .
Like other Indians they have that
fatal passion for ardent f pirits which
seems destined to be their extermina
tion. But it is generally kept within
bounds, as they do not drink habitual
ly. A constitutional depression of spir
its, to which they are peculiarly sub
ject, or an overflow of social feeling on
the reunion with friends returning
from their hunting excursions, usually
leads to a debauch. One after anoth
er is drawn in and the revel sometimes)
extends over two or three davs and
itfiits. When it is over they carefully
efface ull traces of their dissipation,
dress themselves hundsomely, return to
their usual avocations, unci for a long
time drink nothing intoxicating.
They have a wild, irregular code of
dueling of their own and are always
ready to tiirow away life on a point of
honor, and do it with a coolness and
indifference which would excite the
envy of a white advocate of the code.
In fact, they do not iterm to feel any
instinctive dread of death. They speak
of it with as much indifference as of
any future event and meet it apparent
ly without fear or reluctance.
When their crop are worked to a
point of Kiifoty tliry are willing to help
their white friends. At fiirtim where
they are kindly treated and where they
find it agreeable to stay they work at
moderate wages, ami during the cotton
mil si n give imiHirtant aid. Cotton
picking ia their favorite work, Their
Mtiull hands ntul lithe und agile forms
glide through the cotton without
breaking or otherwise injuring it. Aa
they pick by weight and are permitted
to choose their own time of work, this
leave the in tliut freedom of aetlon
they prize so hithly. They pick very
neatly and carefully, attend strictly to
the Instructions of their employers, and
in this, as In all their relations with the
whites who treat them kindly, are uni
formly desirous to please.

The only members of congress ofiicially
recognized are the membersof the house
committee on foreign affairs, in whoso
good graces he naturally likes to keep.
A private citizen calling without an in
troduction at any of the legations
promptly receives a card in return, and
the latest addition to the corps makes
the first call upon the resident mem
bers. None of the wives of the diplo
mats holds public receptions, except
Mme. Romero, who began the custom
some dozen years ago, when Washing
ton was not so large as it is to-day, and
has never discontinued it, but even her
house is open but four times a season
to the general public.
Until two years ago, when Great Brit
ain raised her representative to the
rank of ambassador, and France, Italy
and Germany quickly followed, the
dean of the corps was always the min
ister who had seen the longest term of
service here, and the dean now is the
English ambassador, Sir Julian Paunce
fote. As dean he takes the lead at all
official functions; foveign ministers call
upon him first, and in matters in which
the -whole corps is interested he is con
sulted first. When the ambassador first
appeared in Washington society there
was a good deal of surmising about the
matter of precedence at dinners, and
for some time it was a much-discussed
question, but it has settled itself with
out much diiliculty, and nothing is ever
heard about it now. In the early days
of the republic the question of etiquette
became of sufficient importance for the
secretary of state, Mr. Adams, to ad
dress a letter upon the subject to the
president, but it was never settled.
Years of precedent have, however,
given a certain fixity to the etiquette
here, which is much more rigid than is
generally supposed by those who have
not lived in Washington long enough to
know.
OUR MEXICAN
BOUNDARY.
New Monuments Huve Heeu Set
Mark the Line.
I'p to
A recent San Diego (Cal.) .special says:
The United States international boun
dary commission has arrived here and
is completing the work of establishing
two hundred and fifty-eight monu
ments marking the line between Mex
ico and the United States from El Paso
to the Pacific ocean, a distance of
about seven hundred miles. The
commissioners are Col. Barlow, U. S.
A.; Lieut. Gaillard, U. S. A., and Mr.
Mossman, of the United States coast
and geodetic survey. Their "staff of
engineers, soldiers and laborers num
bers about eighty. For two years and
a half tliis party has been iu the field
erecting the monuments and resur
veying the boundary line, which wus
originally established by Commissioner
Emery from 1810 to 1H5H.
The fifty-two monuments then erect
ed have been supplemented by two
hundred and six more, which are, for
the most part, plain iron shafts on
rock and cement foundations. liy
agreement with Mexico any errors dis
covered in the) original survey by the
present commission shall not bo cor
rected, ho far as ownership of territory
is concerned. Few errors have been
found in the first survey. The largest
was along the New Mexico bonntlury,
whereby Uncle Sam gnius nearly
forty square miles of land which the
new survey shows to lie in Mexico.
Much of tile trip of the commission
was through Arizona deserts. At times
it cost twenty-live cents a gallon for
water needed ut certain remote points
by a small party of men und lmr:,es.
To get water there at all required four
water tanks holding four hundred gal
lons each and drawn by four mules.
The water in throe tanks wus exhaust
ed ami the tank sent buck to the main
ramp in order to get the fourth tank
to the p iitit whore observations were
sought. 1 lit' supply In this tunk was
sufficient to imiiuluin the several men
and four mules until tin- return to

A Curious Oak Tree.
A resident of Augusta, Ga., has an
oak tree growing upon his place which
is not unlike other trees of that species
in general appearance. Instead of pro
ducing the regular acorn, however, it
is annually loaded with peculiar for
mations, as unlike the natural produc
tion of such trees as one could imagine.
As a general rule, the cup of an ucoru
is as large or larger than a thimble,
covering at least half of the acorn
proper, but in this case the tiny recep
tacle is not larger than a pea, and in
stead of being constructed so as to hold
but a single nut or kernel, contains
from three to five small ones, the num
ber seeming to vary with the distance
from the ground, the cups on the lower
limbs being uniformly filled with three
of the tiny acorns. Botanists of na
tional repute have pondered over this
sylvan oddity, and old settlers, noted
hunters and woodmen in general have
visited the wonder and left without
even attempting to name the variety of
oak to which it belongs.
The Vongeance of Mature.
The Boston Transcript says that of
the one hundred and forty-six inhab
itants of the little town of Chiltnark,
on the island of Martha's Vineyard,
thirty-six, or almost exactly one-
quarter, aro congenitally deal ami
dumb. The town records show that
two of the original settlurs of the
place, away back in the seventeenth
century, were deaf and dumb, and the
infirmity has thus been transmitted to
our own day. This hereditary influ
ence shows no plan of uniformity in
its workings, deaf and dumb parents
having children in full possession of ull
their senses, nnd vice versa. This pe
culiar community, shut in from the
outside world, is, however t alive to all
the social and political influences of
the time, and does not differ in great
degreo from the thousund and one se
cluded villages which dot our ftcw
England hills and shore line. It affords,
however, ample opportunity for the
minute investigation of both the so
ciologist anil the student of evolution
and physiological heredity.
Tilings Learned in tliu Morgue.
The old keeper of the morgue in this
city, who lias soon hundreds of un
known bodies exhibited for identifica
tion, bus urrived at some interesting
conclusions, says the Philadelphia I.ec-
rd. If the face of the (loud person is
perfectly composed und natural, of
course, intiinute melius or relatives
recognize tiiein Immediately. But, he
says, if the lace is distorted llirougli
pain or disfigured by injuries, a casual
acquaintance can identify the liody
iiiuoh easier than tlie closest relation.
lie explains this by saying that people
w ho have known a person well for a
long time lo. e sight of the features and
see rather the personality re flee ted iu
the lines of the face. A casual ac
quaintance notes the features, and can
recognize them when seen again, even
if coiihideably distorted.

hand. The young queen passes most
of her time at the royal castle of Loo,
an ancient looking residence from the
outside, but thoroughly modernized
as to interior. Wilhelmina leads a reg
ular life, a good deal of her time being
taken up in study. Unfounded stories
regarding her health have been pub
lished. The truth is, the young mon
arch is an unusually nervous child,
and for that reason lives as quietly
as possible. When at The Hague or
Amsterdam she and her mother drive
through the streets daily.
HE LIVED AS A
GIRL
Extraordinary Experience of
a Tooth In
the Swiss Alps.
An extraordinary story of a young
man passing as a girl all his life until
a month or two ago is just related from
Treschatel, in the Alpine district of
Switzerland. Ho was known by the
name of Laura Besnar, and came of a
good family. Why his friends should
have registered the child as a female
and subsequently kept up the decep
tion is a matter of mystery The young
man is said to have found the compan
ionship of the weaker sex very pleas
ant, and would probably have continued
to frequent the society of young wom
en as one of their number had he not
fallen in love, but in order to woo and
win the lady of his choice he declared
his proper sex.
The earlier years of his life were spent
in a convent school, on leaving which
he studied a cure for stammering and
subsequently founded a school for that
purpose. This was so successful that
iu a few years he amassed forty thou
sand francs, and then decided to study
medicine. With this object ho was en
tered as a student at Grenople school
of medicine us a woman, and to all out
ward appearances was one.
His features were distinctly feminine,
and nothing in the shape of a mustache
or whiskers was to bo observed. In
every way ho comported himself as a
female anil seemed quite at ease in the
character ho assumed. The only thing
which might have betrayed him, per
haps, was a slight suspicion of the mas
cuiine in his voice. This, however, was
sctircely sufficient to attract special no
tice. t
The young man has been married
and as a husband he has already be
coiuu acquainted with the hardships
of tlie rougher sex, for sad to relate he
is registered for military service in
18115.

a fashionable palmist to have her for

mancer's art is not to see his fair pa
tients, she had to put her hand through
a slit in a screen. After quite a cur
sory examination the fortune teller
said: "Minhime, your hand is so ex
traordinary that one of two thingH
must lie the truth: Either my skill
must In- at fault fur once, and I sec, im
possible events, or you must bo Em
press Eugenie, for no other hand could
tell of auch strange vicissitudes."
